My wife has come down with a sickness and had to stop working. The doctors won't officially tell us it's MS but are telling us it is MS. I've got good insurance through work but it doesn't cover some of the special test to confirm until we've paid out almost 10 grand. Without those test she can't get disability either. With her out of work the last 6 months it's drained our savings. If anyone can help or has advice we'd appreciate it. As it stands after cutting everything out that we can and selling everything we don't need we will still come up short about 700 a month until she can get disability or go back to work. This is mainly just me needing to scream into the eather in frustration, but if anyone has advice or prayers we would appreciate them.

So sorry to hear about your wife's problem.
Before you start down an expensive (and possibly toxic) road with Big Medicine, it might be worth looking into supplements and lifestyle changes that could help. Below is the Protocol page for MS at Life Extension, and I've pasted in a short list of supplements they recommend for MS patients. Millions of people WITHOUT MS (including me) take all these and more, and they're generally beneficial for anyone, so I wouldn't wait for a confirmed diagnoses to consider starting these.
Also, there is a LOT more available out there; dig in and do some research and you might find enough help that bankrupting yourself for medical care isn't needed in this case. Worth a try, I'd think.
